are you insane to open this topic? It wouldn't be a bad idea, but Americans don't put enough energy into anything to read 6 lines of writing or listen to 5 minutes of text, let alone read books (yes, your court hearing will be like this in the USA)
Reading books is only in Europe fashion: in the USA, unfortunately, everyone is high on coke because if he didn't do coke, then mom and dad were already drugging themselves into insanity with heroin and LSD in Woodstock, and in the 80s, everyone is probably still snorting cocaine to this day, and their offspring inherited the accompanying neurological disease. , so they are pulled up like some kind of roller coaster
They are not interested in anything else but mafia activity (they are about the level of a 13 year old child) and mass incestuous prostitution, bloody fights or shootings
They play the police state here when arrived if they they are going somewhere "make order immediately"
Which in reality means that criminals are armed, mafias are formed and legalized, mass prostitution begins and legalized, and maximum exploitative capitalism in all areas, along with the Jews

A Living Soul, by P.C. JersildThe protagonist of this mild satire - is a human brain floating in an aquarium - The bodiless Ypsilon, expected to be an unemotional intellect, feels lonely. Beause he is lovesick over a pretty lab assistant, Ypsilon chooses not to respond to elaborate educational regiments - With the aid of a chimpanzee and a detached human hand, he makes detailed plans for an impractical escape.

The Dwarf, by Pär LagerkvistThe novel, set in a time when Italian towns feuded over the outcome of the last feud, centers on a social outcast, the court dwarf PIccoline. From his special vantage point Piccoline comments on the court's prurience and on political intrigue as the town is gripped by a siege. Gradually, Piccoline is drawn deeper and deeper into the conflict, and he inspires fear and hate around him as he grows to represent the fascination of the masses with violence.

Ubik, by Philip DickNamed one of Time's 100 Best Books, Ubik is a mind-bending, classic novel about the perception of reality from Philip K. Dick, the Hugo Award-winning author of The Man in the High Castle. “From the stuff of space opera, Dick spins a deeply unsettling existential horror story, a nightmare you’ll never be sure you’ve woken up from.”

The Tenant, By Roland ToporThe Tenant chronicles a harrowing descent into madness as Mr. Trelkovsky is subsumed into Simone Choule, a suicide victim whose presence still saturates Mr. Trelkovsky's new apartment. “Echoes of Kafka, Poe, and Hitchcock . . . not recommended to any average reader who may be easily shocked.”

Lullaby, by Chuck PalahniukEver heard of a culling song? It’s a lullaby sung in Africa to give a painless death to the old or infirm. The lyrics of a culling song kill, whether spoken or even just thought. [...] Reporter Carl Streator discovers the song’s lethal nature while researching Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, and before he knows it, he’s reciting the poem to anyone who bothers him. As the body count rises, Streator glimpses the potential catastrophe if someone truly malicious finds out about the song.
 
$650?

That is an expensive wank.


Ludlum's works of espionage, his thrillers, and the like are really good, but have you read the few comedy novels that he wrote? The Road to Gandolfo, and The Road to Omaha (which I own a copy of) are laugh out loud funny.
Nope. I never read the comedy ones. I read a few of the spy works. Only remember charm school. Very good.
 
Are you high? I can't even read.
No, I've been off all kinds of drugs and alcohol for almost 20 years now.
I repeat: the book topic would be a good idea, but Americans are not willing to read even 6 lines of writing and are not willing to listen to too much conversation because in their opinion it is "boring"
However, licking the ass of Jews, protecting the genocidal lying Israel, shooting with guns, bloody fistfights,doing human slavery in other countries, drug use, mass prostitution, and the terrorist Italian or gypsy mafia are all very well financed and protected by the USA
I hope it is understandable or readable this way
